North Dakota Weather 3/26 - Evening - Special Weather Statement
·2 min
The episode begins with host Aaron Jolly announcing a special weather statement for North Dakota due to scattered snow showers moving eastward. These showers are creating sudden visibility drops that could catch drivers off guard during the evening commute. Current conditions at 6 p.m. include temperatures around 28 degrees, having peaked at 33 degrees earlier in the day. North winds at 13 miles per hour are making it feel cooler than the actual temperature. Temperatures are expected to drop into the low 20s overnight, with dry conditions after the evening snow showers pass. Western North Dakota is seeing the last of these showers as they push into central regions. Central North Dakota, including Bismarck and surrounding areas, can expect visibility-reducing showers through about 8 p.m. The band is moving steadily eastward, so eastern communities like Jamestown and Valley City will see impacts between 8 and 10 p.m. Northern North Dakota stays mostly clear of this activity. The host advises drivers to slow down when encountering snow showers, as visibility can drop to less than a mile in seconds. Additional safety tips include using headlights and increasing following distance. Listeners with evening plans are encouraged to leave extra time for slower travel. Tomorrow morning's commute is forecast to be much better with dry conditions and lighter winds. The episode concludes by reminding listeners to keep windshield wipers ready and check road conditions before heading out, as the quick-moving system will be gone by late evening.
